2PM LIVE - Mali Mali 

A community worker by day, singer-songwriter by night. Mali Mali (real name Ben Tolich) has been creating heartfelt meditative chamber-pop for the last decade. 

2020 was a busy year for Auckland-based Mali Mali. He released his 4th album I Was Told to Keep an Eye Out right after recovering from Covid-19 in April, then during lockdown, started recording his latest EP Kill and Throw, which he released in October. 

Aside from a few shows, Mali Mali hasn’t really had a chance to bring these new songs to life for a live audience. So it’s such a treat to have him perform for us live tomorrow on Music 101.

3.30 Nick Bollinger - In the Spirit

Nick Bollinger’s guide to Black America’s rich tradition of religious song.

Black Americans made some of the most earth-shaking sounds of the 20th century. For a start they invented jazz and the blues, and today it would be hard to find a corner of the planet where the impact of those vital musical forms hasn’t been felt. But they also produced one of the most profound bodies of religious music. Join Nick Bollinger for a guide to Black America’s rich tradition of religious song: In the Spirit.

We're playing Nick's full piece in parts over the next 4 weeks on Music 101. If you'd like to listen to the full production, click below.
